My name is Johanna, but on trail everyone calls me Tinkle.I'm a native swiss girl who loves hiking and skittles! I thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2018. Since then I hiked over 6'600 km / 4'100 mi all over the world. In 2021 I crossed the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea. When I'm not hiking I love to cook delicious vegan food. Another passion of mine is photography, which is perfect when hiking in stunning landscapes. Let's hike the world together :)
